Samsung HW-K950 Dolby Atmos Sound Bar Review

This Samsung HW-K950 Dolby Atmos Sound Bar Review is from CNET.

Dolby Atmos is the next big thing in home theater. It brings with it the added dimension of overhead audio effects. But it usually requires a whole new set of speakers and a receiver to take advantage of it. Samsung’s new HW-K950 soundbar though is designed to take some of the pain out of upgrading to Atmos.

It’s a 5.1.4 surround set which includes wireless rear speakers with ceiling facing drivers on the front and the back. Compared to last year’s curved plastic soundbars the K950 looks like it belongs in another universe. This is a solid aluminum soundbar with a wire grill and a great design. The remote looks better than most credit card style models too.

In addition to the wireless rears the set also includes a wireless subwoofer. Samsung offers a number of inputs including two HDMI and an optical port.

This system also gives you the option of adding a couple of Samsung’s wireless multiroom speakers as rears if you want to as well.
